MARCO CECCHINATO v DOMINIC THIEM BETTING PREVIEW 

Cecchinato his playing his best tennis ever

Marco Cecchinato, prior to this tournament, was n.72 of the ATP ranking and had never progressed beyond the first round of a Grand Slam event. He risked to be knocked out again in the first round when beating 2-6, 6-7, 7-5, 6-2, 10-8 Marius Copil. Then he eliminated two-straight top-10 seeds as Pablo Carreno Busta (2-6, 7-6, 6-3, 6-1) and David Goffin (7-5, 4-6, 6-0, 6-3). The Italian played his best tennis in the quarter finals as he upset former n.1 Novak Djokovic in four sets (6-3, 7-6, 1-6, 7-6).

Cecchinato's record is now 13-9 this season. He won his first title in Budapest earlier this year. The Italian has beaten Thiem on clay in their only previous meeting on the surface, although that was way back in a 2013 and they were both under 20 years old. He has gained a lot of confidence after seeing off Djokovic and obviously is now being buoyed up by an extremely high level of momentum.

Thiem has lost back to back semifinals at the French Open

Dominic Thiem has not been tested so far in the tournament. In the quarter-finals, the Austrian easily dispatched of Alexander Zverev in straight sets in Tuesday's quarter-final, although he benefited from his opponent playing with an injury for a large portion of the match. He won the 1st round in straight sets but conceded a set both in the 2nd and 3rd round, against Stefanos Tsitsipas and Matteo Berrettini respectively. Then, Thiem was an impressive winner over Kei Nishikori in the last 16 round, beating the Japanese 6-2 6-0 5-7 6-4)

Thiem enters this clash with a 25-5 tour-level record on red dirt this year and is currently on a nine-match unbeaten streak after winning his 10th ATP World Tour crown at the Banque Eric Sturdza Geneva Open. The Austrian will be playing his third straight semifinal at Roland Garros and this will be his best chance to reach the final. He was blown out by Novak Djokovic last year and by Rafa Nadal two years ago.
